2 more than twice a number is 324

The number (x) in: "2 more than twice a number is 324" is what we are solving here.

In other words, you are looking for a number (x) that if you multiply it by two (same as twice) and then add 2, you get 324.

To solve this, you first write the problem as an algebra equation as follows: 2x + 2 = 324

Then you solve the equation by subtracting 2 from both sides, and then divide both sides by 2. Here is the math to illustrate better:

2x + 2 = 324

2x + 2 - 2 = 324 - 2
2x = 322

2x/2 = 322/2
x = 161

Answer = 161

The answer above is correct, because twice 161 is 322, and 2 more than 322 is in fact 324.
